Many of you have already started to experience the effects of these powerful eclipses and the Cardinal Grand Cross coming up. I certainly have!

I never expected to be coming to Vienna for dental surgery. I came for just a couple of weeks or so to see some of my lovely friends, to collect a few things and to go back to Greece to experience my first ever Greek Orthodox Easter.  

What should have been a relatively simple root canal filling turned out to be a nightmare. After several unsuccessful attempts to redo the filling, the tooth was finally pulled out, I expected to feel relief immediately. Not so. More acute pain which had already been going on for months. The dentists couldn’t understand it. It seemed to be healing beautifully on the outside, but I was still in agony.  

Finally I turned to my psychic and asked her if she saw anything. She doesn’t do health readings any more and I didn’t hold out much hope. But she said, go back to the dentist, have him open it up because there’s festering bacteria behind the gums. She was concerned that it could go into my jawbone creating a serious problem.

The dentist fought with me because he couldn’t see anything, either on an x ray or on a CT scan, and he didn’t want to cause more damage to the healing process by opening it up. I insisted. He opened it up and said, you were right, there is a big infection here and we’ll drain it out. Every day for 2 weeks I went to have it drained, but it still wasn’t healing properly. I was still in more and more pain.

Eventually I went to another dentist and he opened it up even further and scraped the jawbone where there was more infection lurking.  

In even more pain, I went to the top jaw and face specialist at the hospital. He did more tests and said once again that there was nothing wrong and now because the area had undergone so much surgery, it was a chronic pain condition and no longer an infection.

What to do? I had to trust someone. The psychic wasn’t seeing anything else, but she did say that the jawbone-scraping was very important and was glad it had been done. After 3 different sets of antibiotics, I was hopeful that the last set with the maximum dosage had finally gotten all the infection.

So I am trusting the latest surgeon, I’m being positive and even starting to put a few pounds back on after living on liquids for so many months! It may take a little while to get back up to full steam again, but being pain free now is such a gift and I am very grateful to be on the mend. 

I am extremely fortunate, because no matter how sick I might be feeling, nothing has ever affected my work. When I am preparing and giving readings, all the pain goes away, and my focus is completely with my client. As well as continuing doing readings, which I love, I’ve even been able to write articles, continue writing my latest book and of course prepare my videos. Nothing ever interferes with my work.

Not everyone will have intensely difficult experiences, but most of us are aware that something major is changing in our world, both globally and personally.

In your own chart, look at the houses that the planets are transiting:
Mars retrograde in Libra indicates where you may be feeling defensive, where you need to negotiate, compromise or agree to disagree. This shows you where you may have to be prepared to fight for your rights and find the warrior within.

Jupiter shows the area of your life that needs to grow, where you need to broaden your understanding, where you need to gain a larger perspective, where you need to have more faith.

Pluto shows what is being destroyed in your life, which aspects need to die, where you need to take your own power, where you must face your fears.

Uranus shows where change is needed, where you feel rebellious, where you need space and freedom, where you are waking up and where you need to reinvent yourself.
